How do you fill the legs up with sand and how do you take the legs off? I just received mine. It looks like it is one solid plastic mold.

I have not filled mine up. i have three greyhounds and they don't knock it over. They fill at the top of the leg and you can punch a hole in it where it fits into the tray part. I keep mine on a rug so the water doesn't get all over my floor. One dog eats out of one of the bowls and the water bowl is the second bowl. Mine is not the one that is pictured on my email. This one doesn't look like the legs are removable. Mine has removable legs and its the big one. I think the bowls hold nearly a couple quarts of water. i love it and its really sturdy. I hope i have helped you.

Mine doesn't look just like that picture. It has the legs under the top of the table and they pull loose quite nicely. Not to hard. HoweverI've had mine a year and I have never had to fill them. Looks easy, but mine is in garage and dog does well without the extra weight in the legs.The pictured feeder on this page is definitely different than mine. Sorry.

Based on the picture, it may be a new model. Mine came with the hollow legs off and they had to be "snapped" in the base.

Hi Marlon, I have a 200 pound Newfoundland and a 160 pound Great Pyrenees. I found the table and legs to be stable enough, even when set on carpet, to not need any sand (I own 3 of these tables). To get the legs into the tabletop, turn the table over and gentlytap the legs into the openings. My dogs love these tables and they're easy to clean. Florence Larsen

It's pretty easy, there's a Velcro flap that's folded over on the bottom of each one. Get a small cheap funnel& dry sand.

The leg stand is one fold out piece. There should be a ring on the main shaft that can be turned to tightn the legs. That way they will hold in place. You should be able to do the same thing to food them in or out. When in position just tightn the ring back by hand. Don't use any tools. Hope this helps.

I have to be honest with you, my husband put this together and he rarely looks at instructions. I will tell you I went to home supply store and bought 4 50 lb. bags of sand to put in base (about $16). It was tough getting the sand into such a small hole, use a BIG funnel, yet still very time consuming! Any how, putting the umbrella into the base was not too hard. Dare I say trial and error? There's a pedal thingie on the base that you step on to rotate the umbrella from side to side. That's all I got for ya, hope it helps!

This is a reply to an old post but a warning to others. DO NOT PUT SAND directly inside the posts as the sand will get wet and rot the posts from the inside. Best thing is to get 2 inch PVC and fill it with the sand and cap it off at the top. The 2 inch pvc will fit nicely inside the 3 Inch Diameter posts.

You can fill it with sand or water, but why would u want to ? I bought this and returned it soon as I opened the box. It look like a toy for kids to play with, cheap plastic.

The base comes separately, but it is very easy to put on. You just screw the bag in. The tough part is filling the base. I bought four 60 lb bags of sand from Home Depot. I didn't know that there are different types of sand to purchase. Since the one I got seemed to be almost moist, it was really murder filling it up. The filling hole is pretty small, and I ended up having to make a small funnel and spoon it in. If you can buy sand that is dry and free flowing, you will have no problem at all. In general, the product is very well made and sturdy. I would recommend it.

You need a separate base that fills with water or sand. Bought mine on amazon. Use a bit of bleach in the water to prevent mildew.

Yeah, the are attached by what looks like two small solder joints, one on each side of each leg, but it looks easy enough to bend and snap off, or even a dremel, or small handsaw could probably cut right through it. a dremel would be the easiest way to go. its only 11$ so its not too big of a loss if it doesnt work out right, but i do a lot of handy things and modifying things myself so in my opinion if i wanted the legs off I would definitely give it a go without hesitation. :) just use a metal file to soften the edges if you do decide to try it out so you dont get hurt on sharp edges.

It is plastic on the one that I bought, but I have the first one. We have had it for many years and use it for the beach only. We might make 10+ trips a year. sorry...

I have a 16 inch plastic waste basket. It fills that and I cover it with the lid. The sand arrives well packaged but is a little heavy for the mailman. You might want it sent ups. I think it would adequately fill your four-leg sand table. The sand is white and so clean. I used it for my hamsters as a sand bath. Of course, in little containers so it lasted for a long time.

Just peel off one section at a time and pour sand over. With my daughter I have a small metal cake pan that I lay the picture in so she can pour the sand. I use a kitchen funnel to recollect the sand. She gets to do more of the work that way and enjoys it more.

We filled ours with sand. Not sure the water would hold or how it would react with the heavy plastic. I think the water would leak out. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful!

I love this little machine, but maybe not the best choice for what it sounds like you are trying to do. As others have said, it would be real easy to over sand and ruin the profile of moldings. To remove paint from molding, I would probably use a heat gun and detail scraper. I think that will give you better ability to remove paint without damaging the profile. Additionally, if the paint is thick, the small sandpaper pads this uses will load up quickly and you will go through a lot of them.

Yes I had the same problem. Just have to play with it for a while. I took the pegs out and forced them in and out till they fit. Then I put them back on the base and I pushed them in. Just be careful not to do damage to the statue. Looks good with or without the base. Great piece.

We got a bag of sand at Home Depot - not sure exactly how much we used but had over half a bag left. We did use a funnel and took two of us. Guess it could be done alone but easier with another pair of hands.

Mostly just screwing the legs in. It comes with a piece that lines the bottom piece which you'll need like a screwdriver for.
